What goes on behind the scenes (Darwin) 

Audio is loud and clear, guys.

Tourism Australia… just hire these beautiful people it would be worth every dollar ❤

Nothing makes a morning better than seeing a new video from Australia’s favourite RU-vidrs 🥳

You know you’ve captured hearts and minds when you can turn your travel vlog to skincare routine and we’re still watching ❤.

These guys have sincere Aussie values and honesty....They would be WELCOMED anywhere in Australia as True Blue Aussies and are GREAT Ambassadors ! We are so fortunate they have chosen to come "Down Under" .PLEASE STAY !😉

C’mon let’s acknowledge that the new mics are causing anxiety for Tia ❤️❤️❤️ it’s all good Tia, we love you for who you are ❤️❤️❤️

A hint - pick your fruit and veg (especially the lettuce etc.) from the back of the shelf. It’s the newest and freshest.

It's kind of mind-blowing that when you're in Darwin, you're just as close to Manila in the Philippines as you are to Melbourne. Oz is big.

The food here in Darwin is unreal, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, and everything else you could imagine. The all you can eat seafood places are so good, where else in Australia would you get unlimited seafood buffets for $60.

Audio is great! And as a fellow social anxiety person, I am so very proud of Tia for keeping on filming in public.

Quite a few U tuber’s are good at presentation and commentary but I find the both of you the most natural in front of the camera. Perhaps that’s why you are so popular amongst Aussies. You’re ’True Blue’ as we like to say, because you are not ‘fake’ or posers ( apart from ‘The big things’ lol. ) - and you both ooze honesty and integrity. Yep - you are more than OK by Aussie standards. So if you are tempted to immigrate here please do so. The only thing would be to let the Aussie accent come naturally. All attempts of Aussie accents are almost all cringeworthy to us! lol. Stay safe.

That sunset was amazing

That's hilarious, "what's Tia's is Tia's and what's mine is Tia's". My wife and I have been married for 36 years and guess what? It's exactly the same😆

Oh, thats nice - the person who hit Luna left a contact details note. Love that. Good on Mazda too. Thanks for the behind the scenes and the lovely sunset...it was very relaxing and yes Tia, your skin care routine is really working 😊

Tell it like you see it guys, please don't sugar coat it, in fact, this is one of your channel's strengths !!!

LOL. When Tia was explaining about the wider road and more lanes (at 5:30), Cheveyo made the mistake of saying she hasn't driven since arriving at Darwin. And when Tia appeared to be upset at the retort, Cheveyo quickly changed the topic to the quality of the mic. Slick move but I am experienced enough in life to see that move.

You two are the real Dynamic Duo!

i love how both of you put so much effort and time into your videos, editing must take up a lot of your time...but the end result is fantastic, .....and i have to comment on Tia because she is just soooo pretty , no need for makeup or anything else just a natural beauty ..and her personality is uplifting ...your a lucky man cheveyo

I think the audio was top notch. I love you are travellers and have seen more of Australia than I have in over 70 years, I’m literally seeing Australia for the first time. Thanks for your efforts, really enjoy your videos.

Bugger, I was contemplating flying north to Darwin this week for a fortnight of weeks to escape the cold and wet conditions of the NSW South Coast. You will have to do breakfast at Salvatores Cafe in Knuckey St, if you haven't left already. You commented a while back that you were worried that no one would turn up at a meet and great, Me thinks you may be mistaken.

I love the way you guys make the 'ordinary everyday stuff' so interesting.......great vid..

This year, Darwin marks the 50th anniversary of Cyclone Tracey, which flattened the city on Christmas Day 1974. Remembering the pictures of the aftermath, I think they've done a pretty good job of rebuilding, from nearly scratch. Good on Mazda for how they reacted to the carpark prang and good on that driver for leaving details. Keep up the great videos!

Tia: "I'm already sweating" - yep, that's Darwin for you! Even in the middle of July it's still hot. Audio is really good on that new mic too, thanks for doing that for the benefit of all of us following you guys.

This was actually just fun. You both have a way of just making it feel like we are another person travelling with you & even the basic things. You guys just make me smile

I can't tell you how much I look forward to a new video. Welcome back to the land downunder!

Any video with both of you in it, regardless of the content is always going to be great to watch. Wow for that sunset!! Travel safe ❤

darwin was the best fusion for a long time

I love Guzman y Gomez, my hubby sometimes works night shift, and on the last night shift morning he brings home brekky boritos. Sunshine Coast Qld 😋 love your videos, you both remind me of hubby and myself in many ways, we're older 😊

Audio is perfect in the car.

I thoroughly enjoyed that video guys. It showed us another dimension to your relationship and the decisions that we all take for granted like weather or not you can afford to but a bigger box of porridge/oatmeal or how you have to share one packet for breakfast. Also as you said the amount of behind the scenes work that goes into making your videos that we love so much. You 2 are my favourite Americanos by far and away. You break to stereotypical view we have of Americans and do your country proud. My favourite thing you guys do is “Tia for Scale” 😂😂

Hi from Los Angeles, Cali. Thanks for another video. You come to Darwin remind us during between 1980-1990 many Vietnamese try escape from Vietnam to this port, because those years many others countries like Thailand, Malayar close refugee camp.

A new video and my day is made. Love from Brisbane.

Happy Wednesday morning , a new video to brighten my working day. Now to hide from the boss for 20 mins so I can watch it 😂

Yay !!!! Ya back! Made my morning watching the behind the scenes. You guys are so laid back and enjoyable to watch. Keep the streams coming guys….

That instant porridge has the oatmeal chopped up finely, in order to make it absorbent enough to be instant. The problem with that is that it cuts the fibres so finely that they change from long-chain to short-chain. With short-chain being of so little benefit that you may as well not be eating cereals.

The audio is all good. Just like the two of you.

This was fun. Audio was all good. I doubt anyone thinks Cheveyo would go into a shop and start shouting for a refund. Way too laid back. It's one of the reasons you fit into the Aussie lifestyle so well. I reckon those comments were just people projecting what they would do (or imagine they would like to do) in that situation. I'm glad getting the refund was easy as.

As a (aspiring) vlogger I can relate to so much of what you guys put in this video, the anxiety in public, the new equipment struggles, the late night editing - awesome episode! really

I need more tia healthcare tips and videos!

Pro tip- always stock up dry goods in cities. It will be way cheaper than buying it out of the city and it generally lasts long enough that you’ll eventually eat it. Worst case you donate to a food pantry at the end of your trip, but you have long enough left that this is very unlikely. Maybe buy a plastic tub to put all the dry food in and place in the tray of the Ute.

The sound was "perfect". 💯💯 Loved the vid. Congrats on 80K subscribers. 👏👏 Look fwd to yr next 1. Safe travels Tia and Cheveyo. Pete. NSW.

That sunset……WOW!

Wow thanks guys. I must admit I always think of Darwin is like a small country town. Know this sounds strange but I was amazed to see large buildings there.😂

“What’s Tia’s is Tia’s, what is mine is also Tia’s. Mate, that is pure Shakespeare. 😂😂😂

A handy hint when parking new vehicles in supermarket parking areas. Park well away from the actual entrance to the store. People in a hurry or lazy will always park as close to entrance as possible and throw their doors open carelessly. ( It’s usually time poor mums ) If you can park next to another new late model car! They will always take due care - opening doors and parking

Audio sounds good to me. Envious of the warm weather up there ,it’s been a cold wet winter.

Gyz was started by Steven Marks, a New Yorker who with some funds behind him, dreamed of setting up a Mexican restaurant that centred and simple and fresh. He opened his first restaurant in Newtown, Sydney in 2006 and did his best to hire as many Mexican as he could find (my best mate from Mexico worked in that very restaurant & the stories from the early days are awesome). Side note: there are only 4000 Mexicans noted in the Australian census & we are 20 hours flight away which makes it all the more difficult to get Aussies to understand. Next plans are big. Already GYG has expanded big into Japan. They have a prime location in Harajuku among other places. And they have started opening across other Asian locations and the US. Goal for next few years is to expand to 300 US locations. So Steven Marks has effectively looped back to his home country via a lot of experience from down under.

Really enjoyed this one. You guys are so easy to watch 😊

Just to mention you asked for an audio appraisal. The quality is excellent even in Luna while driving and I am a sound engineer. Well done.

Thank you! I enjoyed this video & am already looking forward to the next one ❤️

Sunset on Mindil Beach. Love it. Brings back memories of when I was in the Army up there.

Hi Guys, GYG was started in Sydney by an American from NY. Personally, their menu was far better 10 years ago than it is today, more variety including barramundi fish tacos. If you see MadMex anywhere in your travels around Australia give them a try.

Nothing like a nice clean car. Well done guys for managing to take such good care of your cars whilst travelling.

Sunsets in Darwin are always gorgeous. Loved this video, a little peek BTS.

When you were shopping, see the tuna next to the John West tuna that you purchased? It's in a yellow and red can and its called Sirena tuna - once you have that, you'll never eat any other brand of tuna again. It's so so good.

Love GyG! We grew up on Old El Paso home cooked taco kits in Aus. Nice to have good eateries now.

Very cool video guys. And a rediculously beautiful sunset thrown in as well! See you in the next one

Darwin has the laksa festival on this time of year I think, and REPCO means RIP Every Poor Customer Off, your sound is good, enjoy your travels Downunder!!

Don’t chuck that little mic out, it is very likely easily fixable. Mist of those mics use electret mic capsules that are cheap and easily replacable. You will need a soldering iron however. The capsules can be bought from suppliers like Radio Spares, Element 14/Farnell, Mouser or Wagner Electronic Services. Most capsules sold are omnidirectional and cost just a few dollars but you might require a unidirectional one (it has holes in the back to let the soun in from the back) and these are a little harder to find. Those mics, as is, usually contain two or three electret capsules and by phasing them correctly this is how they get their directionality. If you come down to Hobart, I will attempt to fix it if you like.

Thanks. You always brighten the day!

Making preparations and provisioning for a trip/adventure is definitely part of the fun, I can totally relate with Tia on that sentiment. Similar to how the week leading up to Christmas Day is so much more festive than the actual day itself in many cases.

Love the new mic. From my end, it is crisp, clean and clear. Audio is often one of the hardest aspects of vlogging to get right. You have nailed it. Great investment!

You Guys will never "get over Australia" just like all us new Aussie ! Its got the best of all Worlds only thing missing is Family!

We have those amazing sunsets in Adelaide as well, hint hint.

Watching you guys brightens my day.

Great video guys! Hope you enjoy Darwin. Thanks for sharing ❤

Great video again Really enjoyed watching all the work that goes on . You two are my favourite RU-vidrs a genuine lovely couple

Audio sounds great 👍 I just told another RU-vidr they need clip on mic's but your new one works as good ❤

Visited Darwin last year, at the same time you guys did actually, and loved it. Nona's, Mindil Beach Sunset, amazing Asian food. We were actually going to go to Litchfield the same day, but decided to go the next day. Luckily I was looking up info on the park before we left and read what had happened.

As an Aussie baby boomer, I have to say that I really enjoy your interpretation of our culture and your laidback descriptions of our landscapes. However, dont you guys ever say to yourselves, for the next two weeks we're going off-line and just experiencing these moments by ourselves. I can dig it. Social media is a big part of your generation.

I found that episode really interesting and fun. Thanks again guys!

Just stick some googly eyes on the new wind baffle for your mic and it will make you smile every time you use it

Always good to see footage of my home town

Oh my goodness!! Your best video ever ❤😊

Beautiful sunset in Darwin!

Loved this video! I'm so excited you are back in Australia, you are such wonderful advocates for our beautiful country.

You are so Aussiefied right now! it's cool! ... One of us ... One of us ... one of us! While in Darwin ... just remain aware ... especially at night. It's reputation right now isn't the best. However, as you know when traveling ... being unaware of your surroundings isn't the smart way to go. BTW ... REPCO stands for "Recommended Every Part Comes Off"! As for "Boat Life" ... could you imagine circumnavigating Australia? There are a number of You Tubers that do it full time. Have a great time folks.

Sound great, glad Repco came good on the warranty. Cheers j

Guzman y Gomez goes great mate! Their spicy pulled pork and spicy beef brisket filling options are sublime. They offer mild also and the chunks of meat are so so tender and juicy. Get there!

Whenever I see that you've dropped a video I smile. When I watch it I'm smiling. Thanks for brightening a gloomy Melbourne day. Now we need more "what's left in the car wash bay" and Cheveyo's skincare regime. Have you had a trim Cheveyo? I reckon you should have gone with a mullet and become a true-blue.

We really appreciate this type of video, we're a newly started channel and the bits about framing/screen eyes struck a chord with us 😂. Keep being you!

Great video. Safe travels guys ❤❤

we love mindil beach sunset. went there several times. We visit Darwin twice and it will stay on our bucketlist. Also as an good base for doing several great NP's.

Thank you for sharing the skin care routine. I've wondered about that while traveling. Thank you for sharing the sunset. It made my day.

Loved this style of video. But then again I’ll watch anything you post haha

The mic sounds just great guys! It is SO GREAT to have you two back in Australia !

I just found out how easy it is to support your channel, Thankyou again guys for your content ☕️ ☕️☕️ ☕️ ☕️

I love the videos! Sound is clear. I am glad there was no issue in returning the air compressor at Repco. I don't take notice of what is on the ground at car washes but now I might and now I am hungry for a burrito.......

As someone who lives next door to Tijuana in San Diego and very familiar with the menu at Guzman Y Gomez, I can tell you that their food is legit. Not quite the same as the amazing tacos we get on the street, but far from bad and I'll gladly eat there when I'm in Australia.

Fun style of video and enjoyable watch! Definitely seems like a stressful few days with the car damage, air pump, credit card and new mic (for Tia). Hope you two get some good rest and peace of mind before hitting the road again. As a Melbourian, don't worrying about upsetting people here. They can be sensitive about it but we need to hear it! Many people who'd be salty never even been to Darwin. I haven't but have heard how good their Asian food is from friends who have gone. GYG is good fast food! Waay better than the other TexMex/CaliMex styled fast food here. Also, would def request Tia op shopping segments!

If you travel to Bachelor (One hour South of Darwin) "Rum Jungle Bungalows" is a nice quite area to stay, in jungle type surrounds. And in Bachelor "Rum Jungle Tavern" has nice meals.

I loved this video! Please do more of them ❤. Behind the scenes and your daily life is interesting!

Our Granddaughter put us onto G and G and we love it. Our daughter used to live in Austin so we tried a fair amount of tucker over there and am pleased that we have G and G to help feed us here. Love your work.

Those fluffy wind socks are called "dead cats". 🙂

Welcome back to Darwin. The xaio long bao at Nonnas are the best I have had. And I've travelled throughout Australia and asia. You can see them being made out the back. Enjoy the weather while it lasts.

enjoy that warm ,cold winter down south this year

Guzman y Gomez was floated on the Australian Stock Market in June this year. It currently has a network of 210 restaurants across four countries, including 185 in Australia, 16 in Singapore, five in Japan and four in the US. I like their burritos.

G'day Tia and Chev. Iv'e been meaning to ask/comments on the night sky/stars in the Aust outback. ❤❤❤❤

Tia and Cheveyo, I Love it the behind the scenes, Sound and picture top notch. enjoy the top end its more difficult to fly for us in Eastern Australia the most difficult 1. Broome 2. The Alice 3. Darwin so I think your in a wonderful position at the moment. Take in as much as you can Nightcliffe Jetty and the Charles Darwin Botanical Gardens would make a perfect free day out to explore.

The new mic works great! Thank you for showing us your face cleansing routine! I ❤ it when people show it! 😊 That soup dumpling looks delicious. What was the other dish? Shredded chicken with cucumber salad? Can’t wait for the next video!
